Frugal Friday~

Welcome to this week's Frugal Friday!

It's been a lovely week here in the Wasatch Front!  Warm temperatures, balmy breezes and all of the sudden...leaves on the trees!  It's like magic the way the trees go from pink and white blossoms to glorious green overnight!  I'm loving it!

For today's Frugal Round-up, I'm sharing some fun projects that remind me of summer...

First up, a sneak-peek beach house tour shared by House by Holly.  I especially love this little peek into the bathroom.  What beautiful colors!

What I'm Instagramming Wednesday~

This week for What I'm...Wednesday, I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things I've been Instagramming lately!

I must admit, I was late to the Instagram game.  I finally downloaded the app, and got going during SNAP! this year.  I must admit, now I am *slightly* obsessed with it!  It's such a fun way to share the little things that go on during the day.


Some fun finds at Target (putting them on my wish list.)

A sneak peek of my entry hall that I'm trying hard to finish.

Terrific Homes Tuesday ...an Update~

I mentioned in my Terrific Homes Tuesday post a couple of weeks ago, that I am helping some friends of mine design their new home


The home is getting closer to completion, so we are now in overdrive trying to get the rooms put together.  Although my friends have a healthy budget for furnishings, when you are trying to decorate an entire home, frugality is essential!

Luckily, my friend is super talented, and is making some of the furniture and décor!  This last week, she and her father worked on building beds for the couple's two boys.  They used a plan from another one of my lovely friends, Ana White, to create the adorable beds.

Kara (my friend who is building the house) was gracious enough to snap a few photos of the process for  me to share with you today!

Happy Mother's Day~

Without a doubt, these four are my greatest accomplishments, my greatest blessings, my happiest thoughts. They make me want to be my best and try my hardest. They are my last thoughts before I fall asleep, and my first thoughts when I wake. I will forever be grateful for my beautiful children.
 
 
 
And I will forever be grateful for my own wonderful mother. For her dedication, her strength, her selflessness, her intelligence and her love.
 
 
 
Happy Mother's Day to you, my lovely readers.
 
xoxo
Wendy

Frugal Friday~

Welcome to this week's edition of Frugal Friday!

This week was filled with family craziness, so I only have a couple of features for my Frugal Round-up, but they are both super fun!

First, I'm loving, loving, loving this home office reveal from The Blissful Bee.  Simply perfect!

Terrific Homes Tuesday: Mary Organizes~

Welcome to Terrific Homes Tuesday! 
Today I'm excited to share with you the bright and cheery home of
Mary from Mary Organizes. 
Enjoy!!
 
 
Hi! My name is Mary Johanson and I blog over at Mary Organizes. My family lives in Northwest Arkansas. We have lived here for almost 10 years and love it. It is such an amazing family-friendly community, which is important to me as a mother of four young children. When I'm not taking care of my family and home, I run a local organizing business. Organizing is a passion of mine, and decorating runs a very close second. I love my spaces to be both functional and beautiful. I am so grateful for Wendy giving me this opportunity to show you a little glimpse of my home! You'll notice blues, greens, and yellows running rampant throughout.
My kitchen is my favorite place in our home. Our home was a custom build, so I got to pick out details like the subway tile backsplash, and fun lighting.
